AN ACT in relation to certain credits for any future application for a
license to sell alcohol at retail for on-premises consumption; and
providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contra-
ry, the state liquor authority shall provide, upon application, a one-
time credit to any covered entity to be used towards any future applica-
tion for a license to sell alcohol at retail for on-premises
consumption. Such credit shall be in the amount that such covered enti-
ty paid in fees solely for retail licenses to sell alcohol on-premises
in calendar year two thousand twenty. Such one-time credit shall only
be authorized to apply to license fees related to renewals or applica-
tions to sell alcoholic beverages in the same locations for which the
covered entity obtained a retail license for on-premises consumption in
calendar year two thousand twenty. For purposes of this section,
"covered entity" shall mean any sports or cultural organization that
held more than one license to sell alcohol at retail for on-premises
consumption in calendar year two thousand twenty. Such credits shall be
given at no cost to a covered entity and no late fees shall be charged
to a covered entity for such credit; however, if requested by the state
liquor authority, such covered entity shall still be required to submit
any forms or information to the state liquor authority to receive such
credit. However, no credit shall be issued or applied pursuant to this
section if such covered entity is able to claim a credit for such fees
pursuant to any other applicable provision of law.
ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall expire and be
deemed repealed one year after such effective date.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
